"There's a story here," LaRocco tells TVNewser. "What are they doing, and why?" She says her 23 interviewees — which include publisher Steve Forbes, Goldman Sachs' Abby Joseph Cohen, and Saks Fifth Avenue CEO Steve Sadove — "were so candid." Their insights, LaRocco says, carry a common theme: "to recognize you have a problem, then fix it...Real leaders look ahead." It's financial counsel that could well serve as general life advice. "If you believe in something, do it," LaRocco continues. "Don't have the naysayers make you question what you want to do."
